The redhead's got it.

While taking a break from writing a Spanish paper, I took some time to look at some of my favorite street style blogs, and these were my two favorite recent looks...coincidentally both have red hair (which is probably the more likely reason for why I picked these two...I love red hair).

French Connection.

Marie Claire US editorial of Sofia Coppola's collaboration with Louis Vuitton handbags and shoes. I am such a huge fan of her work, and I was so excited to see this. From the photos and her past projects (the film Marie Antoinette and the Miss Dior Cherie commercial), you can tell that Coppola is a Francophile and has been extremely influenced by all things French, but I like how it still has a bit of her cool personality involved (like the fifth photo with the Rolling Stones vinyl case).

The Genius.

Christian Lacroix never ceases to amaze me with his dazzling couture collections. This season's was no different. The jumbled use of prints, textures and proportions was perfectly crazy for me. I loved the details - the enormous earrings, jeweled clutches, huge stacked bangles, and my favorite, the colored hair that lookedlike it was a ribbon braided in (reminds me of Frida Kahlo). I also really appreciated the diverse looks of the models.

Lately.

Just a mish-mash of things I've been loving / wanting / thinking about lately.





From top left to right, clockwise:
I saw this headband on the Urban Outfitters website and fell in love with it. I
wouldn't consider paying their price for it, but I definitely want to try making my own.
I've been reading a lot of Jan Austen novels lately; right now it's Sense and Sensibility.
I love the idea of this Mayle trapeze dress for spring - it's light but the graphic black and white keep it interesting.
Eileen Donan castle in Scotland - I would love to plan a trip to see all the castles there.
I've been really inspired lately by Iris Apfel and her wonderfully eccentric outfits.
Franz Ferdinand's new CD "Tonight" just came out this week! It's great, I highly recommend it.
I'm lusting after this J. Dauphin necklace I found on lagarconne.com .

PS Sorry it's so small! Trying to fix that without cutting off any of the collage.

Back in time.

Back in time to one of my favorite editorials from Lula magazine, by the name of "The Childlike Empress," photographed by Nick Haymes.

snowy day.

It snowed last night! I love fresh snow, but after it gets dirty in a few days I begin to hate it. Sorry for the lack-luster posting lately, I've been busy studying for midterms and working on music and theater related things. But soon I should be back to normal, Februrary should be a relatively calm month for me. I'm hoping to have time to do an outfit post in the not-too-distant future.

Just found these on Mixologies. This isn't all of them, but these were my favorites. The lighting is so perfect, I love that it has the feel of a polaroid. It makes me nostalgic, especially the checked shirt and Converse, since I used to wear things like that when I was pretty young.
